The Influence of Personal Factors and Perceived Work Experiences on Employee Turnover and Absenteeism.

Abstract

This paper examines the relative influence of personal factors and perceived work experiences on employee turnover and absenteeism among a sample of 200 clerical and service workers in a major hospital. It was found that turnover and absenteeism represent largely independent behaviors. Moreover, although personal factors predicted absenteeism better than perceived work experiences, no clear predictive trends wre found for turnover. Results are discussed as they relate to theory and previous research. (Author)
